[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why the mom has to do anything. If she wants breastmilk, she can provide it and dad can use a bottle. And a feeding schedule? Baby should be sttn but feeding on demand still.

As a breastfeeding mom I wouldn't want to pump and feed a bottle during my time with the baby. Plus, none of my kids would take a bottle from me, but took it from nanny. [/quote]

Since he has less time with the  baby I think judge wants mom to introduce bottle or have bottle introduced so that its not completely miserable.[/quote]

Many babies will accept a bottle from anyone else other than the breastfeeding mother. If mom is away and dad is there with the bottle the baby will eventually accept it. Many people go through this struggle when other caregivers have to feed a nursing infant. It's hardly uncharted territory and they all get through it. Mom can say she tried and failed but that doesn't mean dad won't have more success.[/quote]

This. And fwiw some kids aren’t into solids as steady food source until 1. Mine would snack a bit but still primarily nursed for nutrition. Thankfully I had good supply and a very flexible minded boss.

The dad could use what mom pumps, supplement with formula, and try solids. If needed and they both agree to it donor milk is an option as well. [/quote]
